From the Mak Family... Last month, we had the amazing opportunity to go on a one-way, cruise from Vancouver to Hawaii. It was a great deal because many days were at-sea, but we still found ways to have fun and eat lots of food! Our favourite excursion was at the Kualoa Ranch, where they filmed tons of movies like Jurassic Park. We rented a UTV (like a jeep) and were able to drive around the...

From the Mak Family... For NTM's birthday this year, we embarked on an incredible airborne adventure by exploring the treetops in Stouffville! If you haven't gone Tree Trekking, I highly recommend it! It was a perfect, breezy Autumn morning. I found it to be a remarkably safe activity. Sure, it was a little physically demanding, but it made for a really memorable family outing as we scaled and...

We love watching him play the games, but honestly, many practices are just running drills and scrimmages. So when a friend...

The process was surprisingly easy and painless. I went to my local donation center, answered some questions about my health history and then a trained medical professional took my vitals and then drew my blood. The best...
From the Mak Family... We had a lot of fun over March Break! NTM was invited to his first ever Leaf's game at Scotia Arena. It was also my first game and we were really excited to be there. Throughout the week, NTM had fun playing board games at a local cafe and staying over at his cousin's house. On Friday, we decided to go to Buffalo for some cross-border shopping. But alas,...
